Shark Helmet - s500
Just purchased an S500 today, 40% off at a local dealer. I think it's a discontinued model, but I didn't care, this fit, comfort and quality for $200 cdn. I'll take her.
These things usually sell in the $3-400 range, but the deal I got I couldn't pass up.
The fit like all helmets, really depends on your head, but I find this helmet really comfortable. They had other shark models there as well, but the fit really differs between models and the others weren't comfortable for me at all.
The s500 in the 2 hours, and 75 kilometers that I've owned it seems to really do well. Besides being sharp looking, it's fairly quiet (at least not any noisier then my HCJ CL-12 was), but it's really a lot lighter, and a lot more comfortable on the inside. The padding and stuff is finished with some kind of material that feels really nice against the cheeks.
The quality of the worksmanship seems to be really high, and ventilation is excellent. We'll see how this holds up down the line.
